Title: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on June 17, 2020, 09:19:10 PM +0100 Season 37 – 1955 Grand Prix
Please check the Season 37 details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1102&theme=6) regarding rules and the 1955 Grand Prix pages (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1112&theme=6) in particular. This season, races are to be run at 60fps – please use this patch 60fpsV2newmod (http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=4584#entry33919). If you have issues read festers post (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=12905.msg232771#msg232771). Drivers must complete 50% of each race to score. The races will be run as follows: Car set: 1955 F1 only Date: Every second Sunday from 12th July 2020 Time: No later then 9:00pm UK Time (30-60 mins practice, race starts at 9:30pm) Race Length: 50 minutes Damage Model: Pro Server: TBA Race List: IGOR Divisional Moderator: Phil Thornton Calendar:
Handicapping We will use the tokens system again this season. The tokens system is actually a chassis levelling system, not a form of handicapping. So to introduce a form of handicapping into the 1955 Grand Prix series, drivers who are classed as "Privateers" will be given additional tokens. This will take the form of 10 additional tokens at the start of the season. However a "Privateer" driver who fails to start any of the first 5 races will only be eligible for an additional allocation of 5 tokens (rather than 10). "Privateer" status will be declared by the divisional moderator at the start of the season. Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents do carry an extra 1 place penalty. The races will be run under Pro rules so no shift-Rs are allowed. Only reported incidents will be moderated. If you would like to enter this series please submit an entry in the poll.

All I get is a bunch of zip files and I haven't found an install application in any of them.
EDIT: Ah, found it! It's the one called Normal. What you do with the rest of it I haven't a clue. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Alain Maurice on July 12, 2020, 07:20:44 PM +0100 Good evening everyone
Is it still possible to ride with you tonight please ? Thank you Vote 75% Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Clive Loynes on July 12, 2020, 07:24:52 PM +0100 Hi Alain, not sure what has happened to Phil but he sometimes only arrives home just in time to start the server.
I expect that you will be able to catch him in the chat room before the race. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Cookie on July 12, 2020, 07:29:33 PM +0100 I made the manual registration step for Alain, so he is the 19th driver and should see the PW ;)
Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on July 12, 2020, 08:25:51 PM +0100 Hi Alain
Welcome to the 55GP series, you will be a works driver. Thanks Clive and Axel. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Alain Maurice on July 12, 2020, 08:56:56 PM +0100 Very thanks all Admins

Your registration has been processed, you should be able to see the password for tonight's race. Good luck :thumbup1:Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on October 04, 2020, 11:52:38 PM +0100 Unfortunately the new Goodwood 1965 track appears to suffer from screen freezes so we have had to remove it from the schedule. In the 67F1 Grand Prix and Sprint races we have replaced Goodwood with Wiesbaden. This will be OK for the 67F1 cars but Wiesbaden is not a good choice for the 55GP cars; there are some heavy braking areas and a very difficult S-bend. Consequently a different replacement track is needed for the 55GP championship. So I have replaced Goodwood with Monsanto Park 1959. It isn't an easy track but it has a nice flow and should suite the 55 cars. If you have planned your car selection for the season, please review the car you have decided to use for Round 10.
Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Rainier on December 10, 2020, 03:47:43 PM +0000 Hi Phil,
Do you think it could be possible for me to race at Monsanto this sunday ? If you agree, I will connect myself to the race at 21:10 (UK time) so ten minutes after the begin to be sure there is a free place. I saw there was 18 - 18 - 16 drivers during the three last races so it should be possible !! ?? If I can, I would choose a Ferrari 625. I made some trainings, at this time I am running around 2mn 19s per lap. And as this is just a try for me (considering season 38), I will start in last position (even doing my best, I don(t think it could be better ;D ) Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Clive Loynes on December 10, 2020, 04:23:35 PM +0000 Go for it David!
Monsanto is not a difficult circuit in the 55s. Let me know if you require any help. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: maddog on December 10, 2020, 04:41:01 PM +0000 Edited my comment here, after turning some laps on Clive's 'Retirement' Server. New tyres do not help laptimes. >:( Suggest bigger brakes for David & all maddog's.
Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on December 10, 2020, 11:00:09 PM +0000 Do you think it could be possible for me to race at Monsanto this sunday ? Yes, you are very welcome. I've processed your registration, you should be able to see the password.Quote If I can, I would choose a Ferrari 625. I've put you down as a Privateer so you are eligible for an initial 10 tokens plus 10 tokens for starting the race (20 in total). So you can drive any car. However, I wouldn't recommend the Mercedes-Benz W196 SL (far too heavy for Monsanto) and the Mercedes-Benz W196 is quite big too. The 625 is a good choice but the Lancia and Maserati are a bit quicker. If you want a nimble car that will turn nicely, the Connaught is very good (but a bit down on power). I wouldn't recommend the Gordini, in the right hands it can be quick but it requires a particular driving style to get the best out of it.Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Rainier on December 11, 2020, 09:01:07 AM +0000 Thanks Phil and Clive !
I will use the Ferrari 625 as I trained with it. For me, it is just a try to see if I would be able to drive these cars during season38. In Monsanto, I will try to follow the slower driver which seems to be a hard challenge according to Martin' s comments :D Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Clive Loynes on December 11, 2020, 09:08:26 AM +0000 Thanks Phil and Clive !

In Monsanto, I will try to follow the slower driver which seems to be a hard challenge according to Martin' s comments :D I did some laps on my server yesterday with the 625 and you are welcome to have the setup and replay of my best effort. I think that the setup is still just a little tail-happy. On some circuits that helps but on others you lose too much time and scrub off too much speed. I like to compare my laps with anything quicker by using the analyser to see where I'm getting it wrong. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on December 11, 2020, 10:12:03 AM +0000 I use the default setups, they are pretty good for my driving style. I made a few adjustments for Indianapolis but for most of the regular circuits a default setup is fine. I think the 55s have improved my driving, everything happens a bit slower so you have time to think. The brakes are bad so you can't rely on quick reactions, you have to anticipate. The lack of grip means the steering is a bit loose which has forced me to use the throttle more to rotate the car in turns. This has helped me improve my driving in the other classes. Now you know my secret David, you'll be even harder to beat in Season 38 ;).
Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Philippe Girard on December 11, 2020, 10:58:26 AM +0000 hi, I would like participate in monsanto, if it's possible, I'm beginner, I try maserati.

Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on December 11, 2020, 02:24:06 PM +0000 hi, I would like participate in monsanto, if it's possible, I'm beginner, I try maserati. Your registration has been processed Philippe, you should be able to see the race password when it is released. Same rules for you as for your friend David, 20 tokens so the Maserati is a good choice.I want to know if I can drive in 55 on next season, thanks ! Please be careful on-track. The championships have not been decided, the race leaders will be fighting for the championship, please keep out of the way if you get lapped. Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Clive Loynes on December 11, 2020, 02:47:02 PM +0000 Martin is on the server at the minute and could probably do with some company. ;D
Title: Re: Season 37 1955 GP - Registration Post by: Philippe Girard on December 11, 2020, 07:40:35 PM +0000 thank you Phil,
there's a good chance I'll be last on the grid ! ;D ;D if I don't come out in the first few laps, I'll let everyone pass me. :shifty: :shifty: |
